thereof the inner surface of the orice in said ferrule supplies thenecessary wall to form a complete tube or duct of said conduit. In thatportion of the cylinder which is within the reservoir 6 the conduit isdirectly in the center, and so much thereof is a regularly- V formedtube, the open end whereof is closed bya cork or plug 9, and to permitthe proper quantity of ink to enter therein the small lateral orifices10 are formed through the wall of said cylinder, communicating Vwith theconduit 5, for the admission of ink from the reservoir. The lateralorifices 10 are sufiiciently small so that no foreign substance can voirbecomes nearly empty and the pen is inverted in the pocket, in that itcauses the ink to remain Within said duct, restraining it from drainingtherefrom by gravity, and by which means the pen is `kept moist andalways ready for immediate and rapid use,

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a fountain-pen a feeder having a circuitous conduit in combinationwith lateral orifices communicating with the reservoir or ink supply, asshown, substantially as and for the purpose specied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
